They need to give them the smooth faces, I cant explain what I mean but you know what I mean....
Why cant they do that?
those faces etched on my brain for years...on the big screen? done in an awesome way with homage to the OG fans!!?
I am drooling an hoping....

At this point no-one knows what will happen after TF3 in regards to Transofmrers on the big screen.
They might reboot it, and in doing so give the robots completely new designs. Or they might just wait a few years and do a prequel/sequel with different director, actors etc. It's all just speculation really.

It's not that they can't do it, it's that the people working on this particular franchise didn't go that specific route. I seem to remember it being discussed in the very beginning, but the thinking was that the faces would more or less have to be "liquid metal", and it didn't make much sense to have a liquid metal face and a rigid metal everything else.

Not that I don't want to see more films sometime in the future or that I wouldn't love to see the films take some new creative direction in a lot of areas. It just feels like things would burn out if you have to deal with a big film release every two years.

Just seems so much of the good stuff comes between films. Hybrid figures and cool generations stuff. Then a movie comes out and we will be flooded with figures like Prime, Bumblebee, Ironhide, and Ratchet that people already have.

Might even be cool to see what they can do with Transformers Prime toys if Hasbro doesn't have to stop to make movie figures. I know CGI cost might limit the cast on the show but that would not stop Hasbro from giving characters the Prime treatment.

That's a logical enough explanation for me.

I recall hearing that it also had to do with making the TFs look more alien. I don't remember the statement verbatim, but needing to make the TFs look more realistic with realistic size shifts and transformations forced the look of their bodies. The "smooth", more humanoid face didn't match up with the motif then, plus it subtracted from the alien look Bay was going for.

I completely agree with this. I hate this "LET'S START A REBOOT RIGHT AWAY!!!" trend. I say take a 5 year break MINIMUM and focus on other aspects of the property.

proboly after a few years somone will want to make some more money off of the franchise and do a new movie, most likely in a new continuity.

i agree with you rogzilla i hate it when they think "we need to make more money from it. reboot the story and make another film". i like it when films and tv series all fit together in continuity with each other like all the star trek tv shows. but like star trek it eventually has to restart. but at least give it a few years before u do so.

pretty sure it wone be the last we see of the transformers on the big screen
